Thanks very much for your comment on slowness of OUTLOOK 2007. I am using Outlookexpress 2007 and assume being similar to OUTLOOK, it is extremely sloww for POP3 downloading. I did not have similar problem for OE6. Now I understand that turning off INDEXING which runs in the background, may speed OE2007 up, but HOW DO I TURN OFF INDEXING. What is it anyway ? Also, thanks for the tip on GOOGLE about how to exclude unwanted item during search process.
